Arsenal Analysed: The reasons we beat Newcastle

We ended our 2024/25 campaign at Emirates Stadium with a 1-0 victory against Newcastle United, with Declan Rice's excellent goal separating the sides.

Newcastle outplayed us early on in this encounter, causing numerous problems with their 3-4-2-1 formation, speed and movement. Inside the first 18 minutes alone, David Raya was forced into making five fantastic saves, including a pair of trademark double-stops to keep the score at 0-0.
